Three Imperial models were produced in 1949. The Imperial C46-2 was a four door, six-passenger sedan. The Imperial Crown models, both with the C47 designation, were a sedan and limousine for eight passengers each. Standard equipment on all 1949 Imperials were self-energizing, hydraulic, four-wheel disc brakes consisting of two flat pressure plates on which segments of brake lining were bonded. Braking action was obtained when the pressure plates were forced outward into contact with rotating brake housings.[6] The C50 models in 1950 featured a new hood ornament, grille, front and rear bumpers, as well as taillights. For 1951-2 two series were added: the Imperial and the Custom Imperial. Full-time power steering was standard on the Custom Imperial long-wheelbase 8-passenger sedan and limousine models. The 1953 Crown Imperials came with a 12-volt electrical system and Chrysler's first fully automatic transmission, called PowerFlite, became available late in the model year.
